Studies on mass extermination, after the Holocaust, stress the importance of such violence as an intentional well-coordinated plan from “above,” through a series of state institutions, thus endowing the paradigm and crime of genocide. Rather, and taking into account the redistribution of the use of force that occurred in the Bosnian ethnic cleansing, we propose that mass violence has to be considered through a double approach based both on networking, to include non-state actors, and on a “grass-root stand point, which stresses the executioner’s perspective. Finally, and based on isomorphism, we show how such a perspective may fuel reflection on the transitional justice issue.
